SCHEDULE 13D

Page 6 of 7 Pages

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D filed on November 10, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 10, 2014, Amendment No. 2 filed on March 6, 2015, and Amendment No. 3 filed on October 14, 2015 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Biolase, Inc. (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 4 Cromwell, Irvine, California 92618. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a, b) As of October 22, 2015, Mr. Schuler may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 11,894,624 Shares, representing approximately 19.99% of the Shares outstanding. This amount consists of: (A) 4,721,022 Shares held by the Trust, representing approximately 8.11% of the Shares outstanding; (B) 5,883,465 Shares and warrants to acquire 1,275,337 Shares held by the Foundation, representing approximately 12.03% of the Shares outstanding; and (C) 14,800 Shares held by Mr. Schuler’s spouse, Ms. Schuler, representing approximately 0.02% of the Shares outstanding.

As sole trustee of the Trust, Mr. Schuler shares with the Trust the power to vote or direct the vote, and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the 4,721,022 Shares held by the Trust. Mr. Schuler disclaims any beneficial ownership in any of the Shares held by the Foundation.

As of October 22, 2015, Ms. Schuler may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 7,173,602 Shares, representing approximately 12.06% of the Shares outstanding. This amount consists of (A) 14,800 Shares held by Ms. Schuler, representing approximately 0.02% of the Shares outstanding, and (B) 5,883,465 Shares and warrants to acquire 1,275,337 Shares held by the Foundation, representing approximately 12.03% of the Shares outstanding. Ms. Schuler disclaims any beneficial ownership in any of the Shares held by the Foundation.

The percentages set forth herein are based on 58,227,536 Shares outstanding on October 1, 2015, plus, for purposes of calculating the Foundation’s beneficial ownership, and Mr. Schuler’s and Ms. Schuler’s aggregate beneficial ownership, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act, the 1,275,337 Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the Foundation.

As disclosed in Amendment No. 2, the terms of the warrants held by the Foundation prohibit the holder of such warrants from exercising the warrants to the extent that the exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the outstanding Shares. As such, although the Foundation holds warrants to acquire 3,824,252 Shares, due to the 19.99% blocker, at this time, the Foundation can only exercise warrants to acquire 1,275,337 Shares.

(c) As of the date hereof, no transactions in the Shares had been effected by the Reporting Persons since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3) on October 14, 2015, other than the following open market purchases:
